Fixed Dollar Risk Lines V2

*This is a small update to the original concept that adds greater customization of the visual elements of the script. Since some folks have liked the original I figured I'd put this out there.*
Fixed Dollar Risk Lines is a utility indicator that converts a user-defined dollar risk into price distance and plots risk lines above and below the current price for popular futures contracts. It helps you place stops or entries at a consistent dollar risk per trade, regardless of the market’s tick value or tick size.
What it does:
-You choose a dollar amount to risk (e.g., $100) and a futures contract (ES, NQ, GC, YM, RTY, PL, SI, CL, BTC).
The script automatically:
-Looks up the contract’s tick value and tick size
-Converts your dollar risk into number of ticks
-Converts ticks into price distance
Plots:
-Long Risk line below current price
-Short Risk line above current price
-Optional labels show exact price levels and an information table summarizes your settings.
Key features
-Consistent dollar risk across instruments
-Supports major futures contracts with built‑in tick values and sizes
-Toggle Long and Short risk lines independently
-Customizable line width and colors (lines and labels)
-Right‑axis price level display for quick reading
-Compact info table with contract, risk, and computed prices
Typical use
-Long setups: use the green line as a stop level below entry to match your chosen dollar risk.
-Short setups: use the red line as a stop level above entry to match your chosen dollar risk.
-Quickly compare how the same dollar risk translates to distance on different contracts.
Inputs
-Risk Amount (USD)
-Futures Contract (ES, NQ, GC, YM, RTY, PL, SI, CL, BTC)
-Show Long/Short lines (toggles)
-Line Width
-Colors for lines and labels
Notes
-Designed for futures symbols that match the listed contracts’ tick specs. If your symbol has different tick value/size than the defaults, results will differ.
-Intended for educational/informational use; not financial advice.
-This tool streamlines risk placement so you can focus on execution while keeping dollar risk consistent across markets.
